Tylecodon wallichii
caudiciform
Description
Tylecodon wallichii is a striking succulent shrub that originates from Southern Africa, often found in arid and rocky regions. It is characterized by its thick, fleshy stems and leaves, adapted for water storage in its dry habitat. Its leaves are typically obovate to lanceolate, and they can display a range of colors from green to a reddish tint under intense sunlight. This plant also produces clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers, adding a touch of elegance to its rugged appearance. Tylecodon wallichii is relatively slow-growing, developing into a substantial specimen over several years. Give this plant well-draining soil and protect it from excessive moisture. When cultivating Tylecodon wallichii, ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot, and provide bright, indirect sunlight to promote healthy growth.
